Another outstanding citizen was called, also on November 2, when John Henry HEYER, a citizen of Gypsum valley for thirty-eight years, passed away at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Cullen CLARK, after a lingering illness of several months.
Coming to Gypsum in 1901, with his family, Mr. HEYER at once took his place as one of the community's leading citizens, a position he maintained until failing health the past few years forced him to retire from active participation in the more strenuous affairs of life.
He engaged in farming in the valley, and in 1922 he was elected a commissioner of Eagle county, which position he filled with honor to himself and to the advantage of the county for four years. He was a charter member of the Modern Woodmen of the World at Ford City, Mo.
John Henry HEYER was born in Utica, N.Y., February 28, 1863. He spent his boyhood days in various parts of New York and Ohio and when still a young man moved to King City, Mo., where, on January 8, 18888, he was married to Katie [sic Kitty] Bishop ETHEL.
Surviving him are three children--Mrs. Julia MARSHALL of Glasgow, Mont., Mrs. Georgia CLARK of Gypsum, and John HEYER of Gilman. There are nine grandchildren and eight grandchildren living besides a number of other relatives. His wife and elder son, Willis, preceded him in death.
Funeral services for John HEYER were held from the Lutheran church in Gypsum Sunday afternoon, the Rev. W. S. CASSELMAN of Eagle delivering a very fitting discourse on the example of the life of John HEYER. The church was crowded with people who had called Mr. HEYER friend during his life, and who sadly gathered to pay their last farewell of the earthly remains of a respected citizen. The body was laid beside those loved ones who had preceded him in death. The funeral arrangements were in charge of the Farnum mortuary of Glenwood Springs.
